Hummmm, NC's angels never sing, but Catholics angels do, because they have their own choirs. Not believing the Bible has it's rewards huh?
PS, there is not one scripture in the Bible that says the angels can sing, I guess it's a human trait only.
I hope you're not serious. It is interesting how often the various NCs here contradict themselves on whether explicit Scripture is necessary to make a claim or not.
We know angels can speak, as the Bible is clear on that. Why one would assume that a being with a voice is incapable of using that voice to sing is unclear?
Why would you assume that?
AS far as I can tell, anyone with a voice is capable of song, at least simple chant.

In light of these passages, I think I see how the Catholic church could theoretically allow women priests someday. Something like this: "Since a woman, Mary, presented the sacrifice of Jesus to the Father, then a woman, acting in persona Mary, can offer the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus in the eucharist".
I'd keep your day job. ;-)
Not saying this will happen, but if it did happen, this is how it could be justified. The foundation is already laid out in the encyclicals I cited last night.
No. Never. You are missing the crucial identity of who a priest is. The priest is not some disciple or Mary offering the sacrifice of Calvary to the Father.
No, the priest is Christ offering Himself to the Father. There is absolutely zero room for a woman to represent Christ in this manner. Likewise, the aspect of re-creation of the Last Supper also has a decidedly male Jesus offering the Bread and Wine to His Apostles.
Remember the old hymn with the line "Christ the victim, Christ the priest."

I can remember when a Vidalia could be enjoyed like an apple. But, not in recent memory.
Me too. Ever try a Whala Whala? Are they any good?
Researchers at Penn State have developed an even sweeter onion and are now in the process of getting area farmers to buy into the program. I can't recall it exactly, but the brand was "Pennsylvania" something. I think this is the first year they will be out.
